The four-year contract for New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham goes along the same formula the Saints typically use when it comes to top-dollar deals. The first year is cap friendly, while the following seasons see significant increases to round out his four-year, $40 million contract.

According to reports, Graham's cap numbers for each season look like this: $4 million in 2014, $11 million in 2015, $12 million in 2016 and $13 million in 2017.
